Tuesday was the only really good day and that was Peter Reckell's last day. Take that away and it was a pretty average week for Days.

Oh. Okay. That makes sense. For a moment, I thought I was living in an alternate universe.

Imagine how much higher the ratings would have been on Tuesday if they had actually promoted PR's exit. I would think only diehard PR fans or Internet board fans would have known it was his last day.

Obviously Bo Brady and PR can move ratings. Imagine how much higher the ratings would have been if they had given him a proper send off with a front burner story line.

Or maybe the ratings wouldn't have dropped so much if they had been using PR the past year or so. Rather than regulating him to background so that fans got tired and lost hope of seeing any one on their screens besides the few favorite anointed ones of TPTB.
